I finally figured out what "now these three remain" (Corinthians 13:13) means.
I was so confused, I was like "remain?" I'm not even sure how to express why I thought that was confusing. I somehow got the sense that he was excluding something(s) from that list of "these three" that remain. How I got that sense I have no idea.
But someone answered this, someone on Quora
NOW it makes sense! The confusion seems stupid now that its been cleared up. I was trying to think "How did I not notice that?" I think I was confused by Paul's inclusion of the word "Now". "Now" means "the present time", which is NOT what Paul was referring to, so I don't know what the deal with that is. I guess that's just how some people talk. Whatever. Ig.
